  • Surgical guide 200 has base 30 and member 40 .
  • Base 30 has first base portion 31 and second base portion 32 .
  • First base portion 31 has a base portion orifice extending along its length and has track 331 cut through first base portion thickness t.
  • Track 331 has a uniform track width and also has a constant curvature defining an arc of a base circle of arc length L 1 .
  • Second base portion 32 has track 332 (having the same uniform track width and constant curvature as track 331 ) cut through its thickness (which is of somewhat lesser thickness dimension than first base portion thickness t so as to be receivable within the base portion orifice of first base portion 31 ).
  • second base portion 32 is slidingly engageable with first base portion 31 .
  • much of second base portion 32 remains within the base portion orifice.
  • a telescopic effect is created so that a variable arc length of base 30 may be chosen to be equal to or greater than L 1 .

  • Member 40 also has extender section 41 .
  • Extender section 41 has member channel 410 disposed within it. In this embodiment, member channel 410 is shown as but, in no way limited in shape to a fixed diameter channel.

  • Tool holder 42 is sized to be receivable in member channel 410 so that tool 2 is properly directed toward surgical target T.
  • Length Y may vary depending on the particular surgical location. In the embodiment of FIG.
  • length Y may beneficially be somewhat longer than the length of extender section 41 plus the distance between track 331 ( 332 ) and the point at which tool 2 would enter the body of the surgical subject.
  • the object is to provide sufficient support when pressure and torque are applied along length Y.
  • tool holder 42 is shown to be tapered (at entry end 421 ) to, perhaps, provide additional stability, impinging the subject.
  • entry end 421 might not be tapered as is shown in the figure but might be serrated or otherwise shaped for stability when impinging the subject.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates another surgical guide 300 embodiment.
  • Base 30 has the same elements as did the base shown in FIG. 2( a ).
  • most of second base portion 32 is shown to reside outside the base portion orifice of first base portion 31 , adding a much larger operator-adjustable effective arc length L 2 of track 332 to arc length L 1 of track 331 .

  • Slider portion 53 is slidingly engageable with holder portion 55 so that a variable arc length of member 50 may be chosen.
  • slider portion 53 may beneficially totally reside within holder portion 55 so that the location of edge 54 of slider portion 53 does not extend beyond holder portion 55 .
  • the availability to an operator of variable arc length capability of both track 331 ( 332 ) and member 50 greatly increases the flexibility in procedural details (in particular in the numerous spatial approaches) without sacrificing tool placement accuracy.
  • guide embodiments shown are, with respect to the slidingly engageable components, relying on interference or frictional fits to provide rigidity and stability during operation. If such frictional designs are insufficient in specific circumstances, locking mechanisms known to all skilled in the art are considered to be incorporated for each component having selectable positions.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates another variation of surgical guide 400 placed in an ankle surgery environment.
  • Surgical guide 400 has base 60 and member 70 .
  • Base 60 has first base portion 61 and second base portion 62 .
  • First base portion 61 has a base portion orifice extending along its length and has track 631 cut through first base portion thickness t.
  • Track 631 has a uniform track width and also has a constant curvature defining an arc of a base circle.
  • Second base portion 62 has track 632 (having the same uniform track width and constant curvature as track 631 ) cut through its thickness (which is of somewhat lesser thickness dimension than first base portion thickness t so as to be receivable within the base portion orfice of first base portion 61 ).
  • second base portion 62 is slidingly engageable with first base portion 61 .
  • Much of second base portion 62 remains within the base portion orifice.
  • a telescopic effect is created so that a variable arc length of base 60 has been chosen by the operator.
  • Second base portion 62 is shown to be held in place (with first base portion 61 ) only by frictional or interference fit.
  • Base channel 64 is sized to accept locator tool holder 65 through which locator tool 1 passes in the direction of surgical target T located inside tibia 6000 .
  • Leading edge 650 of locator tool holder 65 is serrated and makes firm contact with outer cortex of tibia 6000 .
  • a serrated edge may provide greater stability to a tool and/or tool holder, and may reduce or prevent damage to soft tissue at a surgical site. Note is then made by the operator as to various distances related to the position of locator tool holder 65 relative to track 631 and starting length of locator tool 1 .
  • Set screw (locking mechanism) 66 is tightened to secure the position of locator tool holder 65 and, possibly, of locator tool 1 . While guide 400 insures that both locator tool 1 and tool 2 are aimed at surgical target T, the position of holder 65 noted above will, based on the reference sphere created (with center T) determine when insertion of tool 2 will reach target T.
  • Member 70 is shown having a single element with a defined member arc length.
  • the cross-section of edge 73 , as well that of the entire length of member 70 are sized to be acceptable into and to slidingly engage with track 631 (or, equivalently, and in this case track 632 ) to provide both height and angular variation to the entry of tool 2 as tool 2 is to be directed toward surgical target T along a radius of the reference sphere.
  • member 70 is held by set screw 701 to member stop 702 .
  • Member stop 702 is sized so as to rest upon and not pass through track 632 .
  • Member 70 also has extender section 71 .
  • Member 70 has member channel 74 disposed within it.
  • member channel 74 is shown as but, in no way limited in shape to a fixed diameter channel sized to accept tool holder 75 .
  • this portion of surgical guide 400 may be subject to high stress during insertion of tool 2 .
  • Tool 2 may also be of such small diameter that added stability is mandated to insure accurate placement.
  • tool 2 is shown inserted into extender section 71 and directed toward surgical target T through tool holder 75 .
  • Leading edge 710 of tool holder 75 is serrated and makes firm contact with outer cortex of fibula 7000 .
  • a comparison of the distances between member 70 proximate to member channel 74 and the initial lengths of locator tool 1 and tool 2 indicates to the operator when, upon forcing or drilling tool 2 in the direction, the leading edge of tool 2 will reach surgical target T.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates an embodiment of a surgical guide kit 500 .
  • locator tool 1 and tool 2 are significantly more electrically conductive than the other elements of surgical guide 400 and the contacted anatomical parts, putting the trailing ends of these tools into an electrical circuit will, when their leading ends couple at surgical target T, complete the circuit.
  • Light or other sensor 1000 would then be activated. This would then complete the surgeon's task without resorting to expensive and potentially detrimental imaging techniques.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates another surgical guide 600 embodiment for aiming a tool (not shown) toward a surgical target T.
  • Base 80 has the same elements as did the base shown in FIG. 1( b ).
  • the base 80 has a reduced base arc length.
  • Member 90 is shown to be slidingly engaged with base 80 through track 802 , as in previous embodiments.
  • Member 90 includes track 92 so as to prevent obstruction by locator tool 810 while operator is selectively orienting member 90 within base 80 .
  • the details of tool holder 93 , inserted through member channel 91 are the same for member 90 as in previously described embodiments ( FIG. 3 tool holder 42 and member channel 410 in member 50 ).
  • the reduced size of base 80 may be suitable for surgical procedures performed on smaller anatomical regions (hand and/or foot) or when the at least one tool need not be significantly offset from the locator tool 810 within the plane of base 80 .
  • any and all of the surgical guide embodiments may include more than one member element to be used simultaneously during a procedure.
  • utilization of locking mechanisms for these member elements facilitates sequential or serial placements.
  • member elements may be designed to be removable without removing the entire guide from the procedural area.
